Description: These bushes have taken over at Kenilworth. For two reasons: * firstly the veld is far far too old: at over 50 years it should have burned at least 3 times in that period. This allows the resprouters to survive and grow big after the reseeders have senesced.

Description: Once a rare species, Waxy Currantrhus is now a dominant of the Renosterveld shale slopes of Lions Rump (or - better known as Signal Hill). One of the theories is that the lack of Rhino and Grysbok/Steenbok is allowing these species of resprouters to dominate the local community and suppress the grasses and obligate reseeders. Various hair-brained schemes to control this have been proposed: Eland, Boerbokke, Nguni Cattle - all have their merits and demerits.
